To determine if 6790 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6790.
If the factors of 6790 are only 6790 and 1, then we know that 6790 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6790 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6790 is only divisible by 1 and 6790, then it is a prime number, and if 6790 is divisible by more than 6790 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6790 are as follows:
1, 2, 5, 7, 10, 14, 35, 70, 97, 194, 485, 679, 970, 1358, 3395, 6790
Therefore, since 6790 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6790 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
